Abstract
An X-ray machine includes a radiation source and an image intensifier. A digital camera is downstream of the image intensifier and includes a pixel matrix, wherein the pixel matrix is switchable between a high and a low resolution. The image intensifier displays on an output screen, an image that is dependent on the incident X-radiation and that is picked up by the camera. Imaging behavior of the image intensifier, and thus the sharpness of the image displayed on the output screen, vary depending on the resolution set for the camera.
Claims15
An X-ray machine, comprising:
- a radiation source;
- and
- an image intensifier, wherein a digital camera is located downstream of the image intensifier and includes a pixel matrix switchable between a high and a low resolution, wherein the image intensifier is adapted to display on an output screen an image that is dependent on incident X-radiation and is picked up by the digital camera, wherein sharpness of the image displayed on the output screen varies depending on a resolution set for the digital camera.
An X-ray machine, comprising:
- a radiation source, adapted to emit x-radiation;
- an image intensifier;
- and
- a digital camera including a pixel matrix switchable between a high and a low resolution, wherein imaging behavior of the image intensifier varies depending on a resolution set for the digital camera.
